@amorbis343 I could have sworn I played ME2 on my PS3, and yet I only see an Xbox tag next to the article ;)

To begin with THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!
Why does it matter what system you play the awesomness that is ME2? Gaming is good if you are playing on a: ds, Atari 2600, Amiga, Colecovision, 360, PS2, PS3, PS1, Dreamcast, Arcade, Sega Handheld, Famicon, Gameboy or even pong et al. Video games regadless of platform are awesome, and that should be what we celebrate. Alas, the celebration is almost always "bummed" out by "my (insert noun)
is better than your (insert noun)" conversations.
We are here because of the games right?

I'm a total bioware fanboy. Whenever I see something new and mass-effect related I get way too excited and can't play anything else without thinking about it.
...Except for that iphone game. I hear that sucked.
Still, now I can't even play my 3DS.

I got ME:Galaxy on the iPhone. I couldn't recommend it unless a) you absolutely love Mass Effect and/or b) it's on sale. It's a nice bit of story but the gameplay sucks. They tried to implement the motion features of the iPhone and it just didn't work.
I'm very sad that this is the last DLC until ME3, what are we supposed to do in the meantime? We need more Mass Effects! I hope there's a forth novel on the way. There's another comic after Evolution, I heard.

Why is the doctor character just some generic character model? Lazy.

Can't wait to play it. Downloaded Kasumi and Shadow Broker DLCs today in anticipation of my 3rd playthrough

@Jennacide I had forgotten about overlord! Didn't see it on bioware's site. Gonna grab that too

@Poifection
Yeah, if anything, Overlord is better than Kasumi. A better story even if you don't get a new character. Lair Of The Shadow Broker is probably the most essential DLC for Mass Effect 2. The Arrival, I hope, is just as essential.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the quality of DLC for ME2 compared to the disposable ones for ME1.

If I had a penis I think I'd be fapping right now. Goddammit Bioware, I'm already forgiving you for the screw ups you made in DA2.

One question (Although it really doesn't matter), how much?

Well, time to fap.

@TheRedComet Ugh. They called it "Arrival" not "The Coming". Geez.

when are things like this typically ready for download? could i get it at midnight if i wanted to?
Posted: Mar 28th 2011 8:57PM ShadowMonkey987 said
@whyattn No you can't get it at midnight.
Their typically available when the Service that hosts the DLC updates their marketplace
For Xbox LIVE in the UK that's early morning around 11AM but on PSN in the UK it's Wednesday due to PSN not being updated in America till late at night.. (what can you do really..)

I pray this has some good choices to do. I'm like 98% paragon and I need that small 2% boost to be able to get Jack's loyalty back. I hated having to choose between Miranda and Jack :(
